Abby's Dance Recital

Last weekend our main event was Abby's spring recital. Abby has taken ballet/tap combo class since the beginning of the school year. She has had so much fun in this class. Her favorite friend, Eden, has been in the class with her and I think this is why she likes it so much. Her and Eden are such good friends and they love to giggle. These pictures were taken by Eden's mom right after their professional pictures were taken. I wished I would have hired her, because these pictures look pretty professional to me! They are sooo cute!!


The night of the recital was exciting not only because Abby was a hit on stage, but Maycee decided to throw up everywhere in the auditorium. She couldn't let Abby have all the attention- right??

Abby's ballet number was to "You are My Sunshine." It was adorable and Abby performed the dance perfectly! We were so proud of her and all left quickly after her performance smelling like throw up. Gotta love it.

When he's Famous

On Tuesday we visited Britton's school, as they were doing their traditional end of year field day and author's tea. Both Blake and I were able to go and left the girls with a friend, which was so nice to be able to have that time to give to Britton and not have to chase the girls around. Blake and I were talking to Britton's teacher, who lives in and grew up in the little farming community we live in- and she was telling us how she loves to see her previous students working at the local store, etc. Blake said to her something about seeing Britton when he is older and her reply was, "Oh yes, I already told Britton he has to come see me when he is Famous." We laughed- she thinks Britton is a talented student/writer and I thought that was such a cute compliment!

As of tomorrow, Britton is done with first grade. I am anticipating some tears- similar to last year, he doesn't want school to end. This is one sensitive kid- I can't believe how hard he cried last week when Danny Goeky got voted off American Idol- wow! Anyway, he has had a super year and Blake and I had fun cheering him on at field day and listening to him read his stories at his author's tea. We are super proud of him and so glad he had a good year!

Sweet Surprise

I received a HUGE surprise on mothers day, courtesy of my sweet husband. Our household is no longer i-pod less, and am no longer an i tunes virgin. I love it!

Please Come Home, Soon......

Last night out of nowhere- looked at me and said, "Where is dad?" Um, he has been gone since Sunday Abby- he is on a trip. "Oh, I HATE trips!" I was quietly thinking- me, too!

I don't think I will ever get used to Blake being gone when he has to travel for work. Our days and nights just aren't the same with out daddy around. I do have to hand it to Britton though- who takes he role of being "The man of the house" very seriously when Blake is gone. He is so good for his mommmy- his sister on the other hand.....

I was really missing him today- as I had to go to the store to get some last minute items for a baby shower I was hosting this evening- Abby began to throw a fit in Wal-mart because I wouldn't buy her anything. We were about to pay and she decided she wanted some tic tacs. Well I said no, becuase that would lead to Maycee wanting some, then they would spill, etc, etc. Well Abby threw herself on the ground and started crying (mixed in with some screams). the high school chick that was checking me out probably thought I was a complete nut case as I stood there are completely ignoring this insane child that was making a huge scene. I was so proud of myself for not totally losing it in Wal-Mart and basically walking out with a smile on my face, because really, in that situation- what am I going to do, but laugh at the complete insanity of the picture.

As we were getting in the car, Abby said, "I'm tired. I think I need a nap." Ya think? Seriously.

Bye-bye, Pas

As of last Thursday, Maycee is officially pacifier free. I have known for awhile now that I have needed to do this, but have resisted because it helps her sleep, comforts her when sad, and plus, I Don't want my baby to grow up. But I told myself when they were all lost, I would buy no more. Well that day came and she is doing great! She had a weak moment when she found a picture of herself as an infant and she had it in her mouth and she got a sad face and said,"My pas, my pas" It melted my heart. But she has been sleeping great and after a week of it I think she officially knows how to fall asleep with out it. My baby is growing up- Now onto potty training- YIKES!
